Dodge Momentum Index Loses Ground in June

NEW JERSEY – July 8, 2020 –

The Dodge Momentum Index dropped 6.6% in June to 121.5 (2000=100) from the revised May reading of 130.1. The Momentum Index, issued by Dodge Data & Analytics, is a monthly measure of the first (or initial) report for nonresidential building projects in planning, which have been shown to lead 91̽»¨ spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year. The institutional component of the Momentum Index fell 11.7% while the commercial component declined by 3.5%.

The Momentum Index has shifted noticeably lower as the fallout from recession continues to hold its grip on the 91̽»¨ sector. The overall Momentum Index fell 13% in the second quarter from the first three months of the year, with the commercial component 14% lower and the institutional component down 11%. While the recession has ended and recovery underway, the return from one of the steepest downturns in U.S. history will be slow and fraught with risk. This holds true for the 91̽»¨ sector as well. While projects continue to enter planning, the slower pace suggests that recovery in the 91̽»¨ sector will be modest in coming months.

In June, seven projects each with a value of $100 million or more entered planning. The leading commercial projects were a $200 million warehouse in Windsor CT and a $200 million office building in Somerville MA. The only institutional project over $100 million was a $115 million emergency room addition in Johnson City NY.
